Where is our country headed?

I am at a loss to describe what is going on with this country of ours; Christian/Judeo values are giving way to intolerance of anything that resembles common sense. Pornography, immorality, violence and sexual deviancies are "tolerated" while marriage, virtue and spirituality are demonized as being "intolerant".

We continue to allow our unborn to be subjected to the death penalty by way of legalized abortion while resisting the death penalty for those guilty of actual crimes; we want to ban or restrict the legal ownership of firearms to law abiding citizens while law enforcement are encumbered with the threat of prosecution for doing their jobs. Just ask the Border Patrol agents who tangled with a drug smuggler.

We are asked to be "tolerant" of gays, lesbians and athiests but they themselves have NO tolerance of our deeply held beliefs. We cannot speak out against a reverend practicing "Black Theology" for fear of being labeled racist while the same reverend condemns "whites" without fear of recrimination. We allow the race card to continually cripple any serious discussions as fact based criticism of Obama is discredited as being racism based.

A Muslim soldier shot and killed 13 people in Ft. Hood; will this qualify as a "hate crime" since mostly white Christians were killed?

It's time for religious Americans of ALL backgrounds, race and creeds to stand up for their morals and against those who would turn our country into a Communist regime.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the galleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor- he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their garment, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation - he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city - he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.”-- Cicero, 42 B.C.E.

Romans 1 : 28-31

28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

2 Timothy 3: 1-9

1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth—men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

Any of this stuff sound eerily familiar? Kind of sounds like it could be written on the front page of the newspaper today. As you can see, the Bible predicts this in these and several other passages. It is easy to think that what is happening now is new but as the old saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun. None of this is a surprise to God.

There are many unpleasant things facing us, any one of which could upset the apple cart. Where is the country heading? I'm not sure. But I do know an extremely large percentage of the population understand what's wrong and they're not happy. These are the same folks, incidentally, who will be used as slaves to support the other portion.

The farther down this road we go, however, the less likely it seems this will be resolved quickly or peacefully. That's the scary part.
